FAQs

What does '550 GSM' mean?

GSM stands for Grams per Square Meter and indicates the density of the towel. 550 GSM signifies a thick, plush, and highly absorbent towel, offering a luxurious feel.

Will the red color bleed during washing?

While the dyes are designed to be stable, it's always recommended to wash new colored towels, especially dark or vibrant ones like red, with similar colors for the first few washes to prevent any potential dye transfer.

Can I use fabric softener?

It's generally advised to avoid fabric softeners on towels, as they can leave a residue that reduces the towel's absorbency over time. If softness is an issue, ensure proper washing and drying, or consider adding a cup of white vinegar to the wash cycle occasionally.

How do I maximize the lifespan of my towel?

Follow the care instructions diligently: wash at 40°C, tumble dry on low heat, avoid bleach, and avoid overloading the washing machine. Proper care will help maintain its softness, absorbency, and vibrant color.

Are these towels suitable for sensitive skin?

Made from 100% combed cotton, these towels are generally gentle and suitable for sensitive skin. Combed cotton is known for its smooth fibers, reducing irritation.

What are the exact dimensions of the bath towel?

The bath towel measures approximately 70 x 135 cm or 70 x 140 cm, providing generous coverage for comfort after bathing.

Is the cotton responsibly sourced?

Yes, the product description states that these towels support responsibly sourced cotton, making them a thoughtful and sustainable choice.

Troubleshooting

Towel feels less soft after washing.

Ensure you are washing at 40°C and tumble drying on low heat. Hard water can also affect softness; consider a fabric softener specifically designed for towels or a vinegar rinse (Info needed: check manufacturer's recommendation for vinegar use).

Towel is not as absorbent as expected.

New cotton towels often reach their peak absorbency after a few washes. Ensure no fabric softener is used, as it can coat fibers and reduce absorbency. Wash according to recommended instructions.

Color appears to fade over time.

Wash with similar colors to prevent dye transfer and use a detergent formulated for colored garments. Avoid harsh detergents or excessive sun exposure during drying if line drying.
